Correspondence OF the Yorkyille Enquirer.
LETTER FROM McCONNELLSvILLE.

WORCESTERSHIRE, June 20.-We have
| no boom in railroads or cotton factories or
| other grand enterprise to chronicle in our
little town, but still we are alive, and pre-
sumo that an occasional word from this
| community will not prove void of interest
| to the readers of your paper, which SO truly
| represents the varied interests OF YORK
county.
Were any excuse needed for keeping
the fact of our existence before the minds
of YOUR readers, an ample one Would be
found in the oppressive heat of the last
few DAYS. For with the thermometer in
the %nineties, letting off steam becomes a
necessity. In spite of the heat and want
of rain, the crops look unusually promis-
ing, and should not the drouth become
too protracted, the incoming crop will be
one of the finest and largest gathered for
years. r
G. Campbell were glad to greet him on his
return to his old home. He has recently
returned from Palatka, Florida. where ne
located last Spring for the purpose OF prac,,
ticing his profession, and where he had
won, even in so short a time, many warm
personal friends, and had attained a prac-
tice so large as to justify the expectation
of great usefulness and success. But the
climate of Florida, in the summer season,
proved so facilitating as to render neces-
sary a return to his old home, where the
drier and more bracing air, it is hoped,
| will soon restore him to his WOnted strength
and vigor. .
Mr.. Mack, the son of DR.. j. B. Mack, of
Fort Mill, who has recently returned from
the theological seminary at Princeton,
preached Yesterday at Bethesda to the
children. His discourse was very accept
able and gave evidence of an ability ana
| conservation to his high calling that insures
to him a wide field Of usefulness.
On Friday night next will occur the
closing exercises of the McConnellsville
high school. These exercises will be pub
lie, and a general invitation is extended.
The character of these entertainments IN
the pastjustifes the expectation of a pleas
ant evening in hearing selected recitatlons,
amusing dialogues and good music.
On Tuesday, the 29th, we expect a picnic
in the neighboring grove. 1t will be on
the anniversary Of the sever days fighting
around Richmond, and your eloquent
townsman, Gen. E. M. Law, will address
US, recalling to our minds those OLD war
times, so stirring, so full OF nope, ana,
alas! so full too of sorrow. other speak
ers are also expected to be present.: we
therefore cordially invite the public to
attend, promising them a literary treat,
while the comforts of the inner mar Will
not be neglected. Lutte.
WARNING THE INCENDIARIEs.-A meet
ing, composed of from Is to 100 of the most
substantial citizens of the vicinity of Fish
ing Creek Factory, was held at the factory
last Monday night to take action respect
ing the efforts Of some persons IN that sec
ton to cause trouble between the land
owners and the colored laborers. Resolu-
tons strongly denunciatory OF the action
of these agitators and warning them to
desist from their incendiary teachings and
work, were unanimously adopted, and a
committee of conservative but determined
citizens was appointed to notify the dis
turbers of the action of the meeting.
The work of these good citizens will be
endorsed by all thoughtful, right minded
people. Any man or set of men who at
this juncture in the agricultural affairs OF
the county would foment strife between
employer and employeeshould be held and
treated as an enemy tothe public welfare.
Our farmers see in this thing a strike at the
crops upon which they depend for subsis-
tence.
This trouble is the outgrowth Of the re-
cent disturbances at Fishing Creek Factory,
mentioned in this paper, which, in turn,
we learn from a reliable source, sprang
from a visit to the factory some weeks ago
by one Hover, a pestiferous disturber of
the peace from Hickory, North Carroll
ma Chester Reporter.
